Syntax
type portNumber portType
Purpose This command sets the allowed type for a port.
A port can be configured as an F_Port, an E_Port, or a G_Port. On a
Sphereon 4300 or Sphereon 4500, a port can also be an Fx_port or
Gx_port.
NOTE: On the Sphereon 4300 Switch, the E_Port, G_Port, and GX_Port
options are not valid, unless the Fabric Capable feature is enabled. For more
information, see the
McDATA Sphereon 4300 Switch Installation and Service
Manual (620-000171).
The port configurations function as follows:
• F_Port—cannot be used as an interswitch link, but may attach to a
device with an N_Port.
• E_Port—only other switches may attach to this type of port.
• G_Port—either a device or another switch may attach to this type
of port.
• Fx_Port — allows Arbitrated Loop operation in addition to the
functionality of an F_Port. (Sphereon 4300 and Sphereon 4500
only.)
• Gx_Port—allows Arbitrated Loop operation in addition to the
functionality of an F_Port or an E_Port. (Sphereon 4300 and
Sphereon 4500 only.)
